Guide: NHS Five Year Forward View
Download the free NHS Five Year Forward View
These changes in health in society such as an increase in drinking and smoking and weight issues mean that the NHS needs to take a longer view - a Five-Year Forward View – to consider the possible futures on offer, and the choices that are being faced. So this Forward View sets out how the health service needs to change, arguing for a more engaged relationship with patients, carers and citizens so that we can promote wellbeing and prevent ill-health. It represents the shared view of the NHS’ national leadership, and reflects an emerging consensus amongst patient groups, clinicians, local communities and frontline NHS leaders.
